I've found that rather than try to win at the lottery, I can win with the right stock- SGMS is one of 2 companies (the other is Gtech) that run state lotteries, create scratch tickets, etc and SGMS is up $10 per share from when I bought it last year at 20. Closed above 30 yesterday. I win! Recession proof, everyone is alwasys buying lotto! -Fibonacci Hey MG-
